I've been passionate about technology and science for as long as I can remember. I'm a software developer for Ingen Technologies in Evansville, IN specializing in content management systems. Before that I was a software engineer for Whirlpool Corporation for 10 years.

I’m taking a look at the Sabrent USB External Stereo Adapter. My first impression of this product was, “what is this for?” The back of the package mentions using it to connect “PC” style headsets to your Mac.

NomadKey for Pebble: Review Exceeds expectations as an ideal charging solution for the Pebble smart watch. When I first heard about the NomadKey for the original Pebble smartwatch, I was skeptical of its utility. Unlike a lot of the electronic gadgets I own, the Pebble seldom needs charging.

However, the first night I charged the Pebble with the NomadKey I was sold on it. It’s perfectly designed to hold…
